# Securitisation **Securitisation Pools** are designed for pooling together a group of underlying loans or receivables and distributing the incoming cashflows from those assets to investors based on a tiered structure. Unlike Term Loan Pools, these do not follow a fixed repayment schedule. Instead, repayments to investors depend entirely on **actual collections** from the asset pool — including principal repayments, interest payments, early repayments, or recoveries from defaults. \ **Key Features:** * **Cashflow-Driven Repayments**\ Instead of following a fixed repayment schedule, repayments in these pools are made as cash is received — whether from interest, principal repayments, prepayments, or recoveries. This makes them suitable for portfolios where cashflows are variable or seasonal. * **Tranche-Based Investment Structure**\ These pools are always **multi-tranched**, starting with: * **Senior Tranche**: Receives repayments first and is more protected from losses. * **Junior Tranche**: Paid after senior obligations are met and absorbs losses first, offering potentially higher returns. * **Flexible Waterfall Distribution**\ The distribution of cashflows between tranches follows a predefined **waterfall mechanism**, which governs who gets paid, when, and how much: * **Sequential Waterfall**: All interest and principal payments go to the Senior tranche until it’s fully paid; only then does the Junior tranche start receiving distributions. * **Pro-Rata Waterfall**: Interest is shared proportionally between tranches, while principal is still prioritized to Senior first. This structure offers investors the ability to choose between **lower-risk, stable** returns (Senior) or **higher-risk, higher-reward** positions (Junior), depending on their risk appetite. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
